This thread is many months old. Since the date this thread started in March, there 
have been more advanced variants of the About Blank CWSearch hijacker. This is only 
one of them: 
PCHell: aboutblank

There are many malware support forums on the net, so a Google search should have 
led you to something more definite. You can post on any one of these forums, just 
to name a few.

Bleepingcomputer forums: Tutorials

"Announcement: Hi-Jacking-Spyware Links, Tutorials & FAQ's" and "Announcement: **Before 
You Post, Read-Follow These Rules and Guidelines" 
CastleCops forums

SpywareWarrior forums

It's adviseable to consider using an alternative browser as your main browser. FireFox 
(most popular) or Opera are a couple good choices. IE has too many security issues 
and is very vulnerable to malware infections and hijackings. Hijackings are very 
rare, with other browsers. If you stay with IE, I suggest IE-Spyads, also. For other 
tips and suggestions:
